Dynamic polarizability and electric multipolar transitions in two electron atoms under exponential cosine screened coulomb potential

Abstract

Detailed investigations on the frequency dependent polarizabilities, transition energies, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities of two electron systems He, Be2+, C4+, and O6+ under electric dipolar (E1) and quadrupolar (E2) excitations have been performed using exponential cosine screened coulomb potential with a view to understand the structural behaviour of such systems due to external confinement produced by plasma environment. Time dependent coupled Hartree–Fock theory within a variational framework has been adopted for studying the first three low lying excited states 1s2:1Se→1snp:1Po (n = 2, 3, 4) and 1snd:1De (n = 3, 4, 5) under such excitations. Quantitatively, the effect of confinement produced by the external plasma has been taken care of by considering the change in atomic potential through plasma screening, directly related to the coupling strength of the plasma with the atomic charge cloud. With increased plasma screening, a gradual destabilisation of the energy levels with subsequent reduction of the ionization potential and number of excited states has been observed. Behavioral pattern of the frequency dependent polarizabilities, excitation energies, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities under systematic increase of the screening has been investigated. Results have been compared thoroughly with those available for free systems and under confinement by exponential cosine screened and screened Coulomb potential.

Stark resonances of a hydrogen-like atom under exponential cosine screened Coulomb potential

“…Chaudhuri et al have gone into the hyperpolarizability of two electron atoms under the ECSC potential with interesting features noted [23]. Moveover, they have researched the dynamic polarizability and electric multipolar transitions in two electron atoms under this potential [24]. However, we have not still observed any research on Stark resonances under this potential.…”

Frequency-dependent polarizabilities and shielding factors for confined one-electron systems

“…The values of δ used were chosen both to make the effects analyzed in the text clearer and to consider the region of δ values typical for modeling the one-and many-electron effects of shielding to describe transitions or polarization effects in plasma and for chemical bonding (e.g. for modeling by popular DFT constructions) [33][34][35]. We considered ω over the range of energies from ω=0 (static) to 0.3 E h .…”

Tune‐out and magic wavelengths for hydrogenlike and screened‐hydrogenlike atoms

“…The study of the screened atomic systems or confined atomic systems has become a hot topic of current research due to its importance in different areas of physics and chemistry . Particularly, the structures of the screened‐atomic systems or the atomic systems interaction with screened Coulomb potentials provide useful information for the plasma diagnostics and for the plasma spectroscopy . Plasma effects on atomic processes are in general taken care of by suitable choice of the screened Coulomb potentials.…”
